PARIS--Junior research minister François d'Aubert has been ousted as part of the new government formed by Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin following France's overwhelming rejection of the European constitutional treaty. Politician François Goulard, 51, who served as junior transport and sea minister in the last government, now assumes France's top science policy position and will be responsible for higher education, which d'Aubert was not. Bringing the two portfolios together is "good news," says Alain Trautmann, spokesperson for France's researcher protest movement. A long-awaited science reform bill is due to be published next week.
